A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem. Improper reference count management during the reuse and binding of Connected Isochronous Stream (CIS) connections can result in an unbalanced connection hold count. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by triggering specific connection setup and error paths, potentially leading to memory corruption or a denial of service (system crash).
